Yes I have been looking at flips in my area also.There is a bunch of competition as well but there are always deals.One that looked really good was gone in 3 days in my area.Of course it's the weekend I had a business conference to go to out of town.It seems stuff like that always happens.In what I call BUBBLE MARKETS such as Cali and Nevada many purchasers are speculating on the next ramp up.It's not as much about cash flow as appreciation.Home buyers see it as a way to lock in low rates and when the cycle comes back up do the cash out refi game again tax free.What I am currently looking at for myself is velocity and time.I figure for a residential flip say I made 25,000 profit in 4 months.That comes to 6,250 a month.Now if I closed more commercial real estate transactions then my returns would be greater.I am looking at doing a flip versus say buying a franchised restaurant business.I know the restaurant business.I want to acquire income streams but work on but not in the businesses daily.For me it becomes about allocation of time versus risk and income potential.I would like to acquire some commercial properties for my long term value add portfolio.

I just tried it this weekend for a wholesale deal I locked up but the result was a bit underwhelming: 3 families showed up Saturday and one of them put in a bid that was lower than my contract price with the seller.

I run a side business selling bulk items from china on craigslist and have made good money around christmas.

I did a bid sale this past weekend and one buyer really wanted the house turned out to have submitted an offer back in September while it was listed, but the offer and the slightly higher counteroffer were rejected by the seller and they did not pursue it and the agent disappeared.

i received a colleague request over the weekend and this was the message in the request....maybe this is a real person, and if so, sorry to blast it out...not sure what to think of this..i love helping people, but I'll do it thru BP private messages for the most part"you seem so intelligient.

I would love to speak with you further about what you're looking for.You can contact me directly at [REMOVED], or email me at [REMOVED].I will be in meetings today until 2-3pm.Have a great weekend!

One is near me this weekend and it looks interesting though the inventory lists are not posted yet.Always looking for deals on kitchen cabinets, doors, etc.http://www.peakauction.com/full_content.php?

I chose the west side of Cuyahoga County, near the house from "A Christmas Story".

Then find another job working weekends.

I want to do a walk through with him, estimate rehab costs, and find out how much he would typically charge for the same work with someone else.I spoke with him today and he says he's done approximately 20 flips in the past, and would be really interested in walking through a house with me this weekend.
